Joe Pesci as Nicky Santoro in Casino

What can I say about his role in this movie.Â A man with an attitude that he can do whatever he wants. you know why? Let him explain it.

Â Joe Pesci as Vinny Gambini in “My Cousin Vinny”

We can all agree that Marisa Tomei stole the show in that movie, but I personally liked the film. We all knew he was wiseguy funny, but who would have thought he could carry a whole comedy. oh and I don’t like grits.

Ok well another role where his comedic chops were shown.Â Anyone think this is their favorite Joe Pesci role?

Joe Pesci in David Ferrie in JFK

What seemed like a very short role, it was a very weird role; to me at least, for Joe Pesci to play. Agree? Maybe it was the wig.
